Pry’s Mill Bridge

This two-arch bridge was built over the Little Antietam Creek by George Burgan for $1,650 in 1858. Its cutwaters, the upstream pier bulwarks designed to divide the current and break up ice flows and log jams, are unique in that they are shaped like the prows of ships. Both grist and sawmills operated at nearby Pry’s Mill.

Marker is on Keedysville Road 0.1 miles west of Shepherdstown Pike (Maryland Route 34), on the left when traveling west.
